Is That George Gilder or Rick Starr Singing "My Way"?

Interesting article in today's New York Times about George Gilder and, tangentially, about the folks who lost their life savings following his advice on tech stocks. This paragraph is interesting:

Yet when he opens his mouth to rail against "idiot" American economists, corporate lobbyists and the perniciousness of taxes ("the power to tax is the power to destroy") and government regulation, the mild manner evaporates and Mr. Gilder might be mistaken for a glassy-eyed nut case on the University of California at Berkeley's Sproul Plaza shouting random invectives at passers-by.

Is Gilder claiming credit for that line about taxes? I hope not.
